The Ruler Has Returned (R18)

CHAPTER 39

"WOULD YOU STILL ACCEPT ME?"

Tumulo ang aking luha. What the hell is this guy thinking? Akala ba niya mapapatawad ko siya ng basta basta lang? After all thats happened? He never even reached out to me when he was far away and he came back with a fiancé. Like does he really think it's that easy to accept and move on? What the fuck?

"Accept you for what?" Alangang tanong ko. I know what he meant. He wanna be part of my life again.

Malungkot na Napabuntong hininga ang lalaki. "Please give me another chance?" Salita niya, maluha luha pa ang kanyang mga mata. "I know I have a lot of explanations to tell you. But I'll tell you when the time comes. It was hard on my part too, I dont wanna be apart from you. I loved you so much that it makes me crazy." Nakatitig lang siya sa mga mata ko. "Please? Forgive me?"

Pinunasan ko ang aking luha.

"It was rough on both of us." Ayaw tumigil ng aking pag iyak. "All Ive wanted was to give chan-chan a complete family. I tried having relationships to other guys but it just didn't work. I think I know why..." napahagulhol na ako.

"Because I still love you! I still fucking love you, Keith!!! I was hoping when you come back you will come and look for me. But you didn't! All Ive got was the news of you getting married! Akala mo ba hindi masakit iyon?! Para akong binagsakan ng langit at lupa ng marinig ko iyon keith!"

Hinila niya ako at ikinulong sa kanyang bisig. "I...Im sorry..." hinigpitan niya ang yakap. "I... got scared. Ive made mistakes... please stop crying. It hurts me so much when I see your tears."

I hugged him back tighter. "Please... dont leave me again."

"I won't. I promise..." bulong niya.

"NANCY, I want you and our daughter to live with me." Salita niya sa harap ko at ng nanay ko. Kakarating ng namin sa bahay mag aalas 2am na ng hating gabi.

"Please?" He held my hand as he was looking at me and nanay back and forth.

Nakapamalikat lang si nanay. "Kayo bahala, hindi naman na kayo mga bata." She said and yawned. "Oh, siya. Matutulog na ulit ako. Pag usapan niyo iyan." Sabay alis niya.

Prenteng nakatingin lang saakin si Keith. He looked so stressed pero gwapo parin. "A-are you sure?" Tanong ko. Parang ang bilis ata ng mga pangyayari.

"Yes, I want you and chan-chan to be with me. I want you to just focus on her as I work for our family." Seryoso niyang sabi. "Please? Im begging you..." while looking at me straight in the eyes.

He looks so sincere and genuine.

"O...okay." Iyon lang ang tanging nasabi ko...

Monday... yes, Monday na naman. Ngayong araw kami lilipat sa bahay ni Keith. I know na napakabilis ng pangyayari. All Ive wanted is to give my daughter a happy family with her daddy. I explained everything to my child, she was happy and accepted keith like she knows all along. I was surprised myself... maybe my daughter knows that her father is keith and she's just keeping it as a secret.

Keith toured me and chan-chan in the house. Ofcourse, he is rich the house is huge beautiful and modern. He also has maids in the house. He told one of his maids to take chan-chan to her own room so it leaves me and him. Hawak hawak niya ang kamay ko papunta sa room niya.

"This is our room right here..." usal niya.

As I was looking around napaisip ako. "Keith?"

"Hmm?" Sagot niya.

"A...are you going to marry me?" Tanong ko, I needed to know if we gonna be living in together we need to get married right?

Ngumiti lang siya...

"Lets go down and have dinner?" Pag-iiba niya.

After ng dinner ay sinamahan ko si chan-chan sa kanyang kwarto. "Nanay, are you going to sleep with me?" Tanong niya, mukhang hindi pa naka adjust si chan-chan dito.

Hinaplos ko ang kanyang mukha. "Ofcourse... Ill sleep with you, let me tell your dad." Ngiting sabi ko.

"No..." rinig kong boses. Nilingon namin ni chan-chan kung saan galing iyong boses.

Lumapit si keith and kinuha ang aking kamay. "Your mom will sleep with me tonight."

Nangunot ang aking noo sa kanyang sinabi. "W-what?!" Balik sagot ko sa kanya. Akmang hihilain na sana niya ako palabas ng kinabig ko ang kamay niya. "What did you say?" Nagsalubong ang aking kilay.

"Nancy, you're sleeping with me tonight." Matigas niyang pagkasabi.

"Are you serious? Hindi pa nakaka adjust ang anak mo dito sa bahay mo, she needs someone here with her she wants her security."

He tapped his head, na parang bang naiinis siya. "We have maids, they can make sure she's safe and secure here so lets go."

Is he really serious?!!! What the fuck happened to him and he became an asshole? Dinala lang ba niya ako dito para maging sex slave niya? Is he fucking serious?

"No! Im staying with my daughter!!!" Singhal ko.

Umigtig ang panga niya as he closed his eyes and close his fists sabay buntong hininga niya. "Fine..." sabay talikod niya at umalis.

Pinatulog ko na si chan-chan. My daughter is cuddling me tight na para bang takot siyang iwan ko siya. What the fuck is wrong with Keith? This is his daughter for fuck sake! Mas importante paba kami kaysa sa anak namin? We need to prioritize chan-chan first before anything else!

I woke up. "Morning nanay!!" Sabay halik niya sa pisngi ko. "Let's go down nanay and have some breakfast?" Aya ng anak ko, nauna pa pala siyang nagising kaysa sa saakin.

Pagdating namin sa baba ay nakahanda na ang lahat ng pagkain. I looked around pero wala dito ang tatay ng anak ko. "Where's Keith?" Tanong ko sa mga maids niya.

"Hindi pa po siya umuuwi maam."

Nagsalubong ang aking kilay. "What?! Saan siya natulog?"

Nagkibit balikat lang sila.

Where did he sleep? Was he mad about last night? Is it wrong to prioritize my child first?

"Good morning, sir Keith." Bati ng mga maids.

Napalingon naman kami sa paparating na lalaki na kakauwi lang. He is just wearing casual clothing, his hair is a little messy too.

Napatayo ako sa kinauupuan. "Where did you sleep last night?" Curious ko na tanong.

"Ill tell you, later." Sabi niya sabay akyat sa taas patungo sa kwarto niya.

Thats it? Is this how he's gonna treat me?

Sinundan ko siya sa kwarto niya. "Ill be back, anak." Tumango lang ang anak ko habang kumakain.

I knocked on his door sabay pasok ko. Bulagta ang lalaki sa kanyang bed na para bang hindi siya nakatulog kagabi.

"Keith, can I talk to you." Salita ko, nilapitan ko ang lalaki sa kanyang kama.

"Let's talk later." Usal niya.

"Are you just going to treat us like this? I thought you want us to be here. Kung ganito lang pala ay aalis nalang kami ng anak ko." Galit kong sabi.

I turned around and left his room crying...
